summary

Wolf's Rain takes place in a post-apocalyptic time when much of the world has been ecologically devastated and most people live in poverty. A legend is told in the "Book of the Moon" that wolves are mystical beings who came to the world from a place called Rakuen (Paradise), at the dawn of time. It is also said that, in the future, wolves will, with the help of a mysterious woman called the "Flower Maiden" (a being created from the essence of lunar flowers), find a way to return to paradise and in doing so, bring about the end of the world. This legend is difficult for most to believe though, because wolves were thought to have been hunted to extinction nearly 200 years ago. Some wolves have survived though and they have been coexisting with humans right under their noses. The wolves have a way of presenting themselves as being human to other humans, thus they can blend into human society with relatively little notice. This ability is in no way shapeshifting, it is a mental trick, an illusion.

It is also important to note that in the legend, wolves were set upon the land by Mother Earth to help human beings because humans were once lowly creatures that were prey for the demons and monsters that plagued the world at the dawn of time. Once the wolves and humans defeated the monsters, they created humanity (note: meaning the creation of human society, not human beings) from a part of themselves, and taught them basically everything they know. The wolves then kept watch over the humans from afar, and didn't become involved in their affairs. Certain wolves, like those of the Darcia clan, on the other hand, took on human form and stayed in that form for years. Eventually, they were no longer able to transform back into their wolf forms and became human permanently.

Yoko Kanno does the soundtrack for this one! Gotta love her.

Maaya Sakamoto does some singing here. I love the song "Tell Me What The Rain Knows" it's very soft and echo-y almost lol.

there is a manga but i'm not sure how much is out...

I think there is only 2 mangas in the series.

People have to remember, mangas and animes are two very different animals. Though they may have the same name, it doesn't mean that they are the same (I flipped through both mangas and it is very different in story).

I plan on seeing this one sometime this week or the next whee

Just got it, planning to be amazed this weekend 4laugh
